A five-day training programme on using artificial intelligence in trade and economic analysis has begun for 30 officials of Bangladesh’s Ministry of Commerce. Running from August 9 to 13, the programme is jointly organised by UK International, the United Nations Development Programme and the ministry. Commerce Minister Khandaker Abdul Muktadir inaugurated the first batch on Sunday afternoon at the ministry’s conference room.
The course covers AI applications in trade administration, policymaking, preparation and analysis of government documents, import-export data analysis and international trade agreements. Sessions will address generative AI fundamentals, prompt engineering, drafting letters, memos, speeches and press releases, market-price analysis and supply chains. Participants will also study AI applications for WTO agreements, FTA and PTA analysis, global trade policy, policy formulation and e-governance.
The minister said AI could make government work faster, more efficient and data-driven, while supporting quicker decisions and more effective public services. He stressed the need for data security, personal privacy, transparency and human oversight. UNDP Senior Economic Adviser Wise Parry also cautioned against complete reliance on AI and called for human judgement and supervision. The programme, funded by UNDP, will conclude with capstone projects and live presentations.
